OutKick personality Tomi Lahren was at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque Thursday night and required a state police escort after a group entered the auditorium where she was speaking, chanting “F**k Tomi Lahren.”
She had been speaking in the auditorium leading, resulting in Lahren, her father, and the members of the TPUSA chapter barricading themselves in a back room as campus police called for backup.
“The university knew there was going to be a planned protest,” Lahren told Outkick on Friday. “There was a banner going around social media for days, especially yesterday, leading up to the event.
“They knew that it was going to be bad. They knew that Antifa was involved. They knew that it was going to be an organized protest against my speech. They did nothing.”
Additionally, Lahren shared details of the situation in the auditorium after the group forced her and others to barricade while backup arrived to help escort them out.
“It took the fire alarm being pulled, and violence happening for the campus PD to call in state police in Albuquerque to respond,” Lahren added. “But they have to do that on their own because the university did nothing.”
“They didn’t care. They didn’t care that we were stuck in that room. They didn’t care that people were trying to bang through the doors and busted the glass to get into us. They didn’t care. So, the fact that the university, as someone got hurt last night, that’s on them. And that’s just a pretty disgusting thing to think, that you’ve got students, that you don’t care that they are getting attacked by other students and members of the general public. And the university didn’t do anything.”
